Ok. How do I get my friend group to use Revolt?

thats the fun part, you don’t.
there will always be alternatives that are a fraction as bad as the current options but nobody will ever use them.
case in point: people still use twitter.

And WhatsApp over Signal/Molly.

So, https://revolt.chat/, not https://www.wordnik.com/words/revolt and fork it, ok.

Discourse is a way, but matrix works as well

The alternative is IRC. I’m not sure why that’s not an option anymore when Discord is just IRC with a few extra features.

XMPP

I mean yeah, I guess, but why fix what was never broken?

IRC’s netsplits still haunt me in my sleep. jk
At least then when someone was considered a nuissance they got kickbaned instead of their account deleted because someone somewhere somehow got offended. Thicker skin crowd i guess, did allow for more discourse.
In IRC’s heyday online communication was mostly centered in groups (the channels) rather than 1:1. In the age of whatsapp 1:1 is king, kinda sad. It’s my perception at least.
I still do think XMPP is a better IRC though, more modern.

Matrix.
It still sucks, but it’s at least FOSS, and you can host your own instance if you want full control.

My instance is on it. What else could one need!
Oh right all the documentation that gets Discordwalled. Perhaps if we keep whining fewer FOSS devs will dare use it [exclusively].

What’s wrong with matrix? I’ve only used it fleetingly but I’ve also never used discord.
